momsuz123 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 What is seat work exactly? :confused: Well, I am new to hsing since August, but my thought of seatwork is work the kiddo does at their seat, maybe more independently. An example for me is one of my dd does Mary Pecci Superseat workbooks. They are fairly independent, needs some help but she likes them. That is my idea of seat work, could be wrong, maybe right. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ok, here's an example: Rod and Staff Publishers' first- through third-grade math books expect the teacher to, you know, teach first; there are scripted lessons for oral classtime in the teacher manuals. When you finish teaching, *then* you give the dc their *seatwork* (workbook pages for first and second, textbook/notebook paper for third), which reinforces what you already taught. See?

That makes sense. Thank you! :) So much to learn.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I consider it anything they sit at a desk or table to do - generally, anything involving writing. Reading a book on the couch would not be seatwork. Doing a math workbook would be seatwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 What the pps said unless you are referring to the seatwork in Abeka. This is referring to work pages for the child to do while the teacher is busy with other students(in a classroom setting) and not necessary for a homeschool setting.

No, that's called "busy work." :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If DS is in a chair, it's seat work, be it listening to me or him writing something. Watching videos at the computer (or on the iPad) isn't seat work, nor is reading books aloud on the couch or floor with me, although those also count as school work. Going to a class or activity, also school work, but not seat work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
